Texsox Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 After some trial and tribulation brought on by my daughter's High School, she was finally accepted at U of Illinois. It was such a relief. She was in the top ten in her class at the International Baccalaureate School here, but when she moved back to Illinois, her new high school screwed over her transcript. Oh boy, both kids in college . . . /anything in the stimulus package for me? or am I the stimulus package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeSox Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Congrats! It's a great school. What's she going for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigruss Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Congrats! Im there as a freshman now, whats she studying? If it's business I can help her choosing classes (personally, my advisor did not do a good job telling me what classes to take). And not to be creepy but if she's staying at ISR (not probable since its mostly sophomores and higher staying there) let me know since Ill be an RA there. Go Illini!

Seriously though, congrats! If she's at all interested...the photojourn professor, Brian Johnson, is absolutely awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the tip. I assume most of her first two years will be spent in lecture theaters run by TAs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume most of her first two years will be spent in lecture theaters run by TAs. If she takes a "discovery" course (only available to freshmen, iirc), she'll be in a small class working directly with a professor. The big lectures I had (1000+ students in basic chem. and physics) were taught by prof's, but discussion sections were run by TA's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoomSlowik Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Unless they changed the structure or she's in a different program than I think she is, communcations is gen-ed the first two years (filled with discussion sections full of TA's that may/may not speak fluent English) followed by an application for the major courses the last two years.

That is no longer the case. The College of Media is now a 4 year College. And my freshman rhetoric TA was from Pakistan. He had been in the country for 3 weeks.
